This activity is part of the Darag Native Chicken Production and Marketing Project: A Livelihood Initiative Towards Achieving Food Sufficiency and Economic Recovery amid COVID-19 in Western Visayas. Dr. Helen G. Genandoy, Faculty of College of Agriculture served as resource person.
The training was divided into three main topics: (1) Pricing of Darag Products and Workshop on the Computation of Suggested Retail Price; (2) Health and Sanitation Management and (3) Vaccination and Quarantine. Workshops and demos followed after each topic were discussed.
